Slipping and Sliding Segments
Practice Your Skills
1. Load the sequence _Transformation Scene Slip and Slide into the
Timeline. (This sequence is just a subset of the sequence you’ve been
working with.)
2. Play through the sequence. You need to fix three moments:
 When Dr. Shannon says, “...she holds her arms up, you know, to
Drosselmeyer, can you do something?” Clarice should reach her
arms up to match his words. Currently, she holds her arms up too
early. Therefore, you need to slip this shot to the left to change the
contents of the shot to an earlier moment (so the action comes at
the right time).
 When Yo-el says “...and they’re waking up the Nutcracker...,” the
action of him raising his hands (in the interview) does not fin-
ish. To let the shot finish, you need to slide the adjacent shot
(“Transformation scene rehearsal”) to the right.
 The intention of editing the shots “Transformation scene rehearsal”
and “Nutcracker lives” together is to match the action from one
shot to the next. That is, you want the action of Drosselmeyer and
Mini-Meyer raising and lowering their arms in the rehearsal footage
to start the action, and you want the action of raising and lowering
their arms in the theatrical footage to finish the action. Currently,
the “Nutcracker lives” shot starts too early, so you need to slip this
shot to the right.
3. Lasso the first “Transformation scene rehearsal” shot from right to
left, making sure that you begin the lasso in the gray area above the
sequence and encompass the entire segment as you drag. This sets
up a slip trim.
4. Drag one of the pink rollers to the left about four seconds (or about
120 frames). (Make sure to grab the roller side of the transition, not
the adjacent side.) You can determine the number of frames you are
dragging by watching the pink frame counters beneath the A-side and
B-side monitors.
5. Play the shot to make sure the action syncs with the words. Tweak as
necessary.
